Mayrhofen Reviews & Ratings

Very scenic Austrian town, plenty of red and blue runs for beginner/intermediate skiers. Would recommend snow park.

We had a fantastic family holiday in Mayrhofen.

It’s a small town but has plenty of options for food and drink. I especially recommend Brasserie Q.

The resort felt so high tech, most lifts are 6-8 person, with heated seats and wind covers. The resort staff were so helpful, always stepping in to make sure our 5-year-old was safe. As a snowboarder I can say not one lift I got off was difficult! And it’s such a fun and varied resort with lots for kids on both sides.

We utilised the lockers at the top of the gondola, which meant we could walk back to our accommodation without having to carry lots of equipment and with comfortable shoes on.

There are plenty of places to eat and drink in the mountain, Bergrast and Granatalm were especially good but do get busy.

Overall we loved it!

Great resort with plenty of runs and modern lifts. Spent 2 days around Penken, half a day in Ahorn and a day on Hintertux glacier. So much to do and fresh snow in late March made for a great trip!

Great resort and town. The free train and busses up and down the valley to all the ski areas is a bonus.

We had such a lovely snowboarding trip overall, honestly one of the better ones we’ve had in a long time. Normally when we go skiing, we always seem to have some issue with either the food or the accommodation… it’s usually overpriced and a bit underwhelming if I’m being honest. But this time was completely different.

We stayed at Elisabeth Hotel Mayrhofen, really close to the lift, and I have to say it’s one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in on a ski trip. The food was amazing — like properly good quality, not your usual ski resort food — and actually reasonably priced which made such a difference. The set menu especially really impressed us. And having the spa included was just perfect after a full day on the slopes.

We hired skis and a snowboard there as well, all very easy, no stress. Après ski was really good fun too, nice atmosphere without feeling too chaotic.

Mayrhofen itself is such a beautiful place, really charming, and the snow conditions were great while we were there. It is a bit on the expensive side, but I think you do get what you pay for here. One of the absolute highlights for me was the glacier — honestly amazing. I did an ice climb for charity from the town up to the glacier, which was no joke… about 7 hours of proper ice and rock climbing, really tough but such an incredible experience. We even visited the ice cave and the only marble cave in Europe while we were up there, which was just unreal. And then snowboarding all the way back down after that — I can’t even describe it, it made the whole challenge worth it.

If I compare it to other trips we’ve done — Andorra and Italy have always been great for food — but Austria, Switzerland, France… we’ve usually been a bit disappointed. This time though, it completely changed that for us.

We’d definitely come back again, no question.

Mayrhofen is a great resort with two ski areas offering a variety of runs to suit all abilities.
The town offers lively night life and great options to eat out.

Excellent ski resort with excellent options to eat out (even for veggies!). Apres ski was excellent, starting on the mountain until the last lift down and continued down in the town.
Lots of ski schools with options for individual or group lessons. I had morning individual ski lessons as I was a complete beginner with a group of experienced skiers. I booked online with Snowsports Mayrhofen. My instructor got me to the point of being confident with blue slopes by the end of the holiday.

Amazing resort, would highly recommend! Quiet slopes but still a good vibe, with cheap drinks and fun apres ski. We would happily come back and it’s our favourite resort we’ve been to!

Amazing place, good beer prices on the mountains and amazing ski runs! Beautiful town with amazing bars, restaurants and clubs. The apres was amazing too! Will definitely be back!

Fantastic snow, so many varied and connected runs, great ski school and fantastic food and drink in the town.

Great resort, amazing choice for restaurants and nightclubs. Great choice of slopes and also has
Hintertux for all year skiing

Top tier lifts. Great runs, well groomed. Excellent village and very accessible. Would very much recommend to anyone

Great lifts, minimal queueing and fantastic groomed pistes. Great for my whole family with good ski schools and all facilities needed.

Had a great time skiing here for a week with my partner. It was her first time on a mountain. The smaller Ahorn section of the resort was perfect to help her build confidence. Whilst the Penkenbahn side was great for exploring for both of us.
We were lucky that our accommodation was a short walk to the lifts, and it was a different experience for us staying down in the valley having to get lifts up to the skewers resort every morning… But that really wasn’t a problem.

Apres ski was fantastic, Slopes were not too busy at this time of year, plenty of bluebird days… A great week had by us both

First time skiing abroad, loved every second

Locals are extremely polite

Runs are groomed well and not overly busy

Views are incredible

Night life very much alive

Authentic Austrian town

The resort was good with a large amount of runs available however I would recommend going earlier in the season as the snow conditions weren't ideal and was mostly slush and moguls in the afternoon

We loved Mayrhofen for the last two seasons after 20 years in the French alps prior. The people are super friendly and you can venture to many different areas, all having something different. Penken park is the best I’ve been to.
We might go back to France next year only for the catered chalet with hot tub setup, which doesn’t seem to be available in Austria unless for a crazy price.

Great 4 day ski in Mayrhofen with great free bus rides between the villages and gondolas. Lots of runs and great ski lifts with plenty of faces for food and drink of an evening

Love Mayrhofen for a perfect combination of varied slopes, great apres on and off the mountain, really nice accomodations and all for a reasonable price!

Large area, snow coverage good but slushy at end of day due low altitude and March warming. Mountain suits more experienced skiers, very few blue runs often requiring skiing a red to get to them. Good food options in town, Smashed Burger was a favourite.
